Can't wait to get mine done! Same 81xv750. Got the subframe built swapped the stock front end with an 06 R6. Front wheel will be here this week so I can finalize the lines of the tank angle and subframe, then it'll be close to road worthy. Hopefully by the end of July I can be out rippin' on 'er!

The offset is different and without removing the drive side too, there isn't enough space to slot in the wheel and brake hub! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work!
